Hey, loved the broomstick episode...my wife & I both laughed through it.
Mikey needs to practice his dumps better...maybe done so the non players could understand what was happening?
Bingo, I did the same thing for the Smiley match as well and the producers were listening on the mics and then they realized I was doing it on purpose. By the time the Emily match came around, Amy was on tilt already, and Emily was pretty mad cause of the way the numbers were coming down. They didn't do a good job explaining it on the show and the matches were shown so far out of order it didn't make much sense. It made for a better story the way it was edited though so I'm not mad at that, no one seemed to wonder why Emily was so bothered and why Amy was so fired up?
So I'll spare all the details but I pretty much played the last 2 matches of the entire round robin. They were against Smiley and Emily. So losing both guaranteed me 10th and winning both would have stuck me at 8 and put Jarrod into 7th. Keep in mind for the list 10 was challenging 9 and 8 was gonna be challenging 7. My thought was why challenge Jarrod for a spot that I care nothing about, I only am trying to win money. Conversely this automatically puts Emily into the 7 slot if I lose both matches and shifts Jarrod to the 8th spot, followed by Smiley and Me.
Ross was in 5th and already knowing Dechaine was gonna be stealing his spot we talked about getting Emily up there to play him next after he plays Dechaine to make some more money. It looks complex just typing it to be honest. Moral of the story is it was well calculated and Emily knew we were putting her in a tougher spot and there was nothing she could do about it. Hence Amy screaming at her like we will be taking your money soon, see how it makes sense now. So yes it was obvious at the end on purpose very much.
The main thing you need to know is my wife has no knowledge or interest in pool or a pool hall. Yet, she sat down and got sucked into an episode yesterday as I was catching up on them on DVR. She thought it was interesting and well done. I am always going to be able to nit pick and know the things that are out of place but she would not and was able to follow everything.
Funny thing was that once it was over, I stopped the DVR and went back to ESPN2. There must have been a rain delay for the NCAA baseball schedules and they were playing a match between Darren and Shane. I couldn't help but think maybe the show has sparked some interest from other cable channels....
Great job to all involved!

That's pretty cool.
Exactly. I'd venture to say that the only real gamblesthere are Irish and Finnegan. The other 3 aren't gamblers. Nobody gives Mike real action unless he spots the world. There is so much more that could be on TV for pool.
Can't wait to see what Earl and Hatch do. Maybe they'll show them cooking lunch and going to the post office. Would be better than this nonsense.
I don't know why you would think that. What's funny is do you consider Hatch and Earl to be gamblers? You're so dead set against it, you wouldn't be able to believe the answer if I told you. So for purposes of this forum, let's say you are right and move on. You are right about all your future posts as well. Just do me a favor and don't ever try to shake my hand or come talk to me in real life cause I'm just not having it.
Is it legal to give people money to gamble with? I'm not lawyer but it sounds fishy. Most people don't have this problem. Mikey I wanna see your real game, how do you shoot?
Are they giving us money to gamble with or are we playing for a prize? I'm glad you know that you aren't a lawyer and admit your ignorance so freely, it's exhausting proving it over and over, way to man up. I honestly don't care what you want to see or what you don't want to see, I kind of hope you stop watching so I can stop reading your hateful posts. I hope someone just bans you honestly.
What's your real name though, so I can find out about you since you know so much about us. I have friends everywhere, let me find out you're some disgruntled league player who's wife left him for the post man.
Plus it eliminates the issue where the other player misses the 9 when you set it up for him LOL, easier to get it with ball in hand.
